smclaugh Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Hello mates, I've just joined pyracy.com after finding it through a Google Search for Bill Johnston info. A fascinating fellow, he's the only real St. Lawrence River pirate. I've spent several days the last two summers in my kayak trying to locate (with success) some of his old hideouts. I have compiled extensive biographical material on Pirate Bill as part of a historical fiction novel I'm writing. I'm posting that material, plus related info, on a new history blog. Check out http://www.raidersandrebels.com if you have a moment. Cheers Captain Shaun Raiders and Rebels http://www.raidersandrebels.com

Jas. Hook Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) *Slips in next to Callenish and grins at the newcomer* Welcome aboard mate..as for that drink..A Plunder Me Cherry if ye please and extra cherries o' course! Another character enters: "He stepped forward from a shadowy corner table near the inn's comfortable fireplace, elbowing Callenish to the side, he bows and sweeps his hat to the fair Black Syren. "Lady, if I may b so bold... Hook, James Hook at your service." Hook gives a cold eye stare to the barkeep, "The Lady requested a ha' jar of maraschino cherries and a tot o' rum... make it so!" A shiver ran down the barkeeper's spine as dropplets formed on his brow... he knew instinctively that this stranger 'Hook' was not a man to cross. This stranger had neither the look of a lord or rogue, perhaps somewhere in between but the scar at the corner of his mouth and the cold sea blue eyes said neither a gentleman was he. Hook once again bowed slightly to Black Syren as the PMC was served and swiftly grabbed the barkeep's hand as he reached for the coin, "And a double tot for this goodfellow here!" As Hook strode back into the shadows Callenish and Black Syren turned to face each other in question... but the double rum and the PMC were real." Just a wave from a stranger to this port. Jas.

LadyBarbossa Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Hehehehe... poor Callenish. Heaved aside by ol' Hook. Careful, Hook. Syren be a wicked lass in her own right. And... a plunder m' cherry be only as good as th' quality o' rum. So, it best be a right grand rum, Cptn. Oh, an'... Hook. :) By all means please introduce thyself on a seperate thread m' good man. That way we can give ye th' proper welcome and attention ye deserve. Now... if our newcomer 'll be so kind... I'll buy him two rounds ONLY if he buys me two rounds PLUS enthrall use with his tales. Aye? Make th' first one Hpynotiq and th' second Pirate's Choice Molasses Reef rum... if'n ye please. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Jas. Hook Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Greetings Lady Barbossa - I thankee for ye warm welcome as I survey the pleasures of this port. If I may clarify... both McLaugh and Callenish were not lively enough to accomodate Black Syren's request, wicked lass or not. All true gentlemen are aware of a lady's needs... chocolate, cherries and topside rum. Callenish was left with a double tot in recognition of the true seaman he is. Cherries or not there is nothing worse than rot-gum rum. For sailors and ladies it's the best the establishment has, so long as coin remains in one's purse. I am in your service, (bow) Jas.
